my Harmony also works flawlessly with my velo setup from Logitech's database. If yours not working, most likely the velo's remote function is broken-that's why sold cheaply?

maybe the light on 12-R turn-off??

I think that is why i can get for Rm1300. There is a blue light on the left though. Anyway, it still works fine without the remote.

have u ever tried control using velo remote?? go n pinjam

Yes, that's the main problem. I dont think you could learn the signal from the sub's IR, right?

*Scratching itchy hands* Bolster, oh my bolster.....

this bolster sindrome maybe a 'kurap' things, since all got itchy hands

me n those who dare to dream only...

same...i m back to dreaming stage

i tot u already in the running for the bolster syndrome cure....

If anyone can lend me his 12R remote for me to try out, I would really appreciate it.

To all svs fans who r not in a rush to get their svs i MIGHT be able to get a big discount through MO.. i am meeting the guy this Friday to get more info.. so if u r not in a rush u might wanna wait for another week and see the MO can jadi or not

Sure let us know more info about the MO when u find out. I'm kinda on the fence but if you can get big discount then that would persuade me.

This is locally organised MO or via Singapore?

locally organised la... sg one very mafan u come in malaysia kena ketam again.. then gst also 7percent

The Poor-Man's Subdude

The talk about the Subdude made me experiment with DIY my own since I discovered I had some material lying around. Really all u need is 2 items: the platform and the feet.

For the platform you need something rigid. I remembered I had a piece of 2'x2' 20mm granite slab spare. You can also get MDF board or plywood, etc. But the real key item is the feet. How do I know this - because I first experimented with just putting the granite slab on the floor and the sub on it. Not much effect since nothing to absorb the vibrations (the granite is after all very hard).

For the feet I remembered that the packaging foam that came with the FCC 2 was a very firm/dense type. It's not styrofoam (too hard) nor the usual type of foam (too soft & airy). So I placed 2 pieces under the granite. The result: sub is less boomy now, bass is tighter, my plaster ceiling rattles less. In fact I'm able to turn up my sub volume. Previously volume at 35 was the threshold before ceiling rattles. Now can push to 40, so can enjoy louder! This validates the effect of the real Subdude and also demonstrates that it can be DIY easily (of course I'm not saying my DIY version is as good as the real thing). The key is to find the right foam.

Here's the pic of my poor-man's Subdude:

Very nice bro! You've got some skills.

Thanks, but there is no real skill involved. Just have to find the materials, put platform on top of foam and that's it.

If skill comes in, it would be to beautify the thing. Like sewing fabric to cover the foam/platform. That's one reason why I'm happy I found the granite platform - it looks good as is, no need to beautify some more. If I had chosen MDF board, it would be more plain.
